I am a newbie

The seeds I will have do not come from that near perfect plants grown in the sun with large fruit. The plant I am saving seeds from is a volunteer that is growing in the shade, and the tomatoes are a little smaller than those plants bought and planted in full sun. Tomorrow, I am going to show the exact plant I am talking about in a post/thread in the photo section.

I can be stubborn sometimes believing in things that have proven to be strong. I do believe that this variety is strong especially pushed into growing in 95% dappled shade... it still produces even in high temps of 98+.

If I saved the seeds right, that's all I have to give. While joining into a seeds trade sounds really cool, and yes, I would grow seeds from Tomatoville growers above all else - it would be more important to me to see how my saved seeds do for everyone in different areas and zones across the world.

I'm not sure of what I am giving back. As I said, I am a newbie. I am not sure of what I have to offer, and giving seeds from bought varieties doesn't make sense to me.
